I have been in meetings all morning and didn't feel necessary to check in once I saw that the deadline was pushed back to 2 pm this morning. To be totally honest, I am fearful that the sights are set on two blues right now.

I thought EPP and shaf both voted on Rylan at around the same point? It seems odd that they are pointing at one another. I am going to read through.

Okay, after reading back through the voting sequence yesterday, I actually don't mind shaf/EPP, as they were the votes I'd be most likely to chalk up to trying to swing things. Now going to read through today.

But again, that's just MHO.

If anything, that makes it less suspect. Why in the world would I change my vote to the second highest vote-getter after it was obvious that obhave would be getting axed? I might as well be holding up a neon sign advertising to the world that I am red at that point. It makes absolutely zero sense to take that risk from a red perspective.

We've all seen people get within a vote or two of getting axed and then along comes a movement that shifts the vote to another person.

She was still 25% short of the eight votes neccessary. Far enough that shifting the vote to a second suspect was still possible.

I stuck with my original vote and wasn't campaigning at all that first day. You on the other hand, sir...

Okay, I think I prefer EPP if I have to choose between he and shaf. This post and another where EPP says something like, "I didn't do anything to be suspicious other than be active" lead me to that conclusion. The difference between EPP's vote and shaf's vote is negligible, so to take shaf's conduct (which is very similar to his own conduct) and campaign so hard while either not recognizing or not admitting the similarity to his own conduct makes EPP look the more suspicious of the two.

Not that it really matters that much at this point, but spear EPP. The difference isn't much but is enough for me to prefer EPP, I guess.

The tribe knew the rebels were still among them. they must decide who to use their brutal magics or weapons on next. in the end, ExPatriatePen seemed a little too innocent to not be guilty. The tribe tied him up and picked up their voodoo shakers. dancing and howling the song of torture, they ripped out his soul and trapped it in a clay pot, to ensure that not even his soul could rest at peace in the afterlife.

there was a rumble coming from the place where EPP had been slain, waking up some of the tribal members. as they stalked fearfully towards the Jar his soul had been trapped in, the rumble grew louder. the tribe looked to redwill for answers, and he bravely went to the jar to strengthen the bonds that help EPP at bay.

before he could begin his chant, the Angry Spirit of ExPatriatePen burst free, screaming: "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU KILL YOUR OWN, FOOLS!" EPP's spirit lunged at redwill, subtly wisping him backwards, where he tripped on a spear and fell into the Tribal flames, engulfing him instantly.

redwill was:

searching for more guidance at this horrible tragedy, the tribe awoke CBear3, the Tribal Witch Doctor explaining what happened, he laughed in their faces while lighting up a fat blunt packed with Voodoo Ganj. as he strode out to see what these cretins had unleashed, EPP's spirit focused on him and attacked. with a flick of his wicker lantern, CBear erased EPP's soul from existence.

the Tribe cheered, and CBear rolled his eyes at the thought of such praise, for an act so beneath his skill. amid the chaos, a blowdart struck CBear in the neck! he fell to a knee, pulled out the dart and examined it. "poisoned!" he laughed. the Tribe members watched in awe as the Witch Doctor pulled a small snake from a pouch and bit its head off.

"will that nullify the poison?" one asked. CBear replied, "no, i'm just hungry, no poison dart can kill me."
